I stumbled across The Light Surgeons the other day… I first saw these guys at a masterclass at the This Is Not Art festival in Newcastle 2002 and was instantly struck be their dedication beautiful (often complex) narrative video, most often performed live using a multitude of various projectors (super 8, digital, slide etc).

We have spent the last two days installing the show over at IMP in .  The install went smooth enough… but we are still knackered, the two big shows one week apart was always going to be a stretch.  But anyway, tis all up - and looks like it should.  If you are in Prahran tomorrow you are more than welcome to come to the opening and say hello (we will be the tired ones chasing our son around)…  Here are the details:

“1950 the Knox Grammar School undertook an ambitious expedition to Ayers Rock, accompanied by renowned anthropologist Charles Mountford.”

“Here, in Central Australia, you will find a wonderland of chasms and gorges and valleys that are as dramatic as anything I have seen. I wouldn’t be surprised if, one day, this becomes a great tourist centre.” Thomas Bradshaw, Alice Springs, 1899

Thomas Schostok (aka ths.nu) has made a book - in his own words:

Mr. Trash reproduces the extravagant work of Thomas Schostok {ths}. Raw, dirty, irreverent, uncensored, Mr. Trash spares no cliche, no absurdity in bringing you what the book’s publisher called “world’s strangest ejaculation of graphic design”.

Mr Trash.

You know someone is successful (or atleast busy) when their site is hopelessly out of date… teastament to the strength of Eduardo’s aesthetic is the fact the v.3 of Misprinted Type had been around for truly ages… I am pretty sure I first checked it out in 2002?  Anyway, version 4 brings a new interface with a couple of header variations, new mode of serving content and a continuation of the tremendously long scrolling page with extra illustrations and hidden goodies.
